FAQs
Will mushroom extracts show up on a drug test? No.
What Ratio is our extracts/ How many mg per serving?
We do not have a marketing gimmick of our ratios as they are truly meaningless. Example, if I give you 72,000mg of coffee beans, a barista, and a teenage and everyone is to make a cup of coffee, will they all contain the same amount of caffeine? No, not even close. So why not measure caffeine instead, after all thats what you want in your coffee? That's what we do, we measure the beta glucans that is in our final product. Our independent lab tests show we have 9.5-9.9mg/ml of beta glucans. In comparison, Host Defense had 0.6 making us 17x stronger, and Life Cykel had 0.1mg/ml making us 99x more potent.

Why is reishi so bitter? The bitterness comes from the beneficial triterpene compounds. These compounds are found in the mushroom and our product is extracted exclusively from the mushroom (fruiting body). You want a reishi product to be bitter. If a reishi product is not bitter, start asking questions. Many so-called reishi products do not taste bitter and this is a perfect indicator of the product not containing any detectable amounts of the beneficial triterpene compounds. This is either due to inferior extraction or the product not being made from the mushroom.
